Inventor of Sourtoe Cocktail needs a profile if your stomach can handle it

Question

I had to check my calendar to see if THIS ARTICLE was an April Fool joke.  It's apparently real, although unbelievable!

I don't know if he qualifies as notable … he's certainly something!!!

Comments

I believe it was mentioned in a Ripley's Believe It Or Not.

Answer 1

Ick, I could have lived a happy life without reading about that!

Answer 2

I love this part:

"Admirers from around the world have offered their toes to Stevenson's cause -- the Downtown Hotel received the big toe of Nick Griffiths, a former British Marine who lost his toe during a winter ultra-marathon in 2018.

Griffiths, 47, dropped out of the 2018 Yukon Arctic Ultra after he got frostbite on his left foot due to temperatures dropping to minus 40.

While in hospital, the Briton offered to donate the toes to the hotel "in the hopes of returning to the Yukon to do the Sourtoe Cocktail with his own toe," the Downtown Hotel said in a statement."

That's better than somebody else's toe I guess.
